A vintage pair of boots with holes in them sells for what?!

File this one under "Are you kidding me?!"

An eBay seller listed these vintage OTK boots with a starting bid of $200.  I was sure she'd have to relist them with a lower starting price...but I was wrong.  These boots got three bids and sold for an amazing $411.00!  Why I'm so amazed is that the boots have holes in them - serious holes!

Yes, this looks like the mouth of a catfish!



Yes, they're a popular size 10 but it appears that someone has a fetish for "well worn" boots as the seller described in her auction title.

From the seller: these boots should have been thrown in the trash 25 years ago lol. they might be fixable. but more for the collector I think. this boot style was made by two lips in the early 90's. very rare today, they are just about all gone now over the years.

Otherwise, the boots were nicely modeled with leggings.  


Interesting, as there were apparently two different modeling sessions as in some photos, the model is wearing solid grey leggings and in others, patterned grey leggings.
